BLOOMIA HOLDINGS, INC.

Previous wording

During calendar 2024, three customers accounted for approximately 65% of Bloomia’s revenue. Although those customers have a history of purchasing fresh-cut tulips from Bloomia, there are no long-term purchase commitments. If one or more of Bloomia’s traditional customers significantly reduces or ceases purchasing fresh-cut tulips from Bloomia, then Bloomia could experience a significant decrease in revenue. Bloomia has historically had a high retention rate, with the majority of our significant customers having business relationships in excess of five years.

Current wording

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, four customers accounted for approximately 59% of our revenue.

Previous wording

In connection with the acquisition of Bloomia, we entered into non-compete agreements with its former owners. These agreements prohibit the former owners from competing with Bloomia’s business for a three-year period from the February 22, 2024 acquisition date. We may be unable to enforce these agreements under the laws of the jurisdictions in which our business operates and it may be difficult for us to restrict our competitors from benefiting from the expertise that our former owners developed while working for us. If we cannot demonstrate that such interests will be harmed, we may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from the expertise of our former owners and our ability to remain competitive may be diminished.

These agreements prohibit the former owners from competing with Bloomia’s business for a three-year period from the February 22, 2024 acquisition date. We may be unable to enforce these agreements under the laws of the jurisdictions in which our business operates, and have no ability to restrict the former owners from competing once the three-year restrictive period expires. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for us to restrict our competitors from benefiting from the expertise that our former owners developed while working for us, and our ability to remain competitive may be diminished.

The majority of our debt carries floating interest rates and is subject to interest rate fluctuations. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 3.0%. Changes in interest rates are caused by a number of factors beyond our control. If the SOFR interest rate increases significantly, our interest expense and cash paid for interest will increase, and our ability to obtain additional financing may decrease, which may materially adversely affect our operations.

Current wording

The majority of our debt carries floating interest rates and is subject to interest rate fluctuations. Borrowings under our credit agreement with Associated Bank, N.A. (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) bear interest at a rate per annum equal to a Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate for an interest period selected by the Company plus a margin ranging from 3.0% to 5.0% based on Tulp 24.1’s senior cash flow leverage ratio. Changes in interest rates are caused by a number of factors beyond our control. If the SOFR interest rate increases significantly, our interest expense and cash paid for interest will increase, and our ability to obtain additional financing may decrease, which may materially adversely affect our operations.

Adverse economic conditions and outlook in the U.S. and in other countries in which we conduct business, such as South Africa and South America, have previously and could in the future impact our net sales and earnings. These adverse economic conditions could include, but are not limited to, business closures, slowdowns, suspensions or delays of production and commercial activity; recessionary conditions; slow or negative economic growth rates; reduced consumer spending levels; increased or prolonged high unemployment rates; higher costs, longer lead times, and reduced availability of commodities, components, parts, and accessories, including as a result of transportation-related costs, inflation, changing prices, foreign currency fluctuations, tariffs, and/or duties; inflationary or deflationary pressures; reduced infrastructure spending; the impact of U.S. federal debt, state debt, and sovereign debt defaults and austerity measures by certain European countries; reduced credit availability or unfavorable credit terms for our distributors, dealers, and end-user customers; higher short-term, mortgage, and other interest rates; government shutdowns; and general economic and political conditions and expectations. Fresh cut tulips are something of a discretionary purchase and consumers may reduce purchases of tulips in slower economic times. In the past, some of these factors have caused and may continue to cause

As we develop and grow our businesses, we may be required to finance this process through equity offerings or additional debt financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt financing, the ownership interest of our stockholders would be diluted, and the terms of those securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include additional covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Additional capital may not be available when needed, on reasonable terms, or at all, and our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to and volatility in the credit and financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed we may not be able to grow our businesses, or complete transactions related to our strategy.

Current wording

The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the personal property assets of Tulp 24.1 and its subsidiaries. The Company provided an unsecured guaranty of the obligations of Tulp 24.1 under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Previous wording

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of Tulp 24.1 and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, dispose of significant assets, make distributions or pay dividends to the Company, make certain investments, including any acquisitions other than permitted acquisitions, make certain payments, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or grant liens on its assets, subject to certain limitations.

These restrictions have and may in the future limit the Company’s ability to utilize its full revolving credit facility under the Amended Credit Agreement and could limit the Company’s ability to implement certain business strategies. During fiscal year 2026, the Company in breach of its financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2026. The Company received a waiver from the lender for each of those financial covenant breaches; however, there can be no assurance that the lender would be willing to grant any additional waivers should the Company breach its financial covenants or other covenants in the future.

Previous wording

The provisions of the Company’s credit agreement or other debt instruments may restrict its ability to obtain additional financing and pursue attractive business opportunities and its flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in business conditions. In addition, a failure to comply with the provisions of the Company’s credit agreement, any future credit facility or other debt instruments could result in a default or an event of default that could enable its lenders or other debt holders to declare the outstanding principal of that debt, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable. If the payment obligations of Tulp 24.1 or the Company under the Credit Agreement are accelerated, its assets may be insufficient to repay such debt in full. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Credit Agreement restricts Tulp 24.1’s ability to make distributions to Lendway.

Current wording

The Amended Credit Agreement restricts Tulp 24.1’s ability to make distributions to Bloomia Holdings.

Previous wording

Under terms of the Credit Agreement, the Bloomia business is permitted to pay a management fee of $60,000 monthly to Lendway, but generally is not permitted to make distributions to its members, including Lendway. This may constrain cash available to Lendway for corporate expenses. The restriction on distributions will also limit our ability to fund additional strategic acquisitions using capital we have contributed to the Bloomia business.

We are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX), to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to have an attestation from its external auditor on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. With regards to its February 2024 acquisition of Bloomia, the Company intends to elect the provision under SOX to exclude the evaluation of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures for Bloomia for a one-year period after the acquisition date.

We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, and actions we may take in the future, will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses. During fiscal year 2024, the Company incurred two late filings and needed to file extensions in order to file two quarterly reports timely. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the Nasdaq Stock Market, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, and our ability to access the capital markets could be limited.

Exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Euro and other non-U.S. currencies have and may continue to negatively affect the earnings of our operations.

Previous wording

We report our financial results and most of our revenues are recorded in U.S. dollars. However, most of our tulip bulb costs as well as a portion of our general and administrative expenses, are incurred in euros. As a result, we are exposed to exchange rate risks that may adversely affect our financial results. For example, if the euro appreciates against the U.S. dollar, then the U.S. dollar cost of our operations in the Netherlands would increase and our results of operations would be adversely affected.

For example, if the Euro appreciates against the U.S. dollar, then the U.S. dollar cost of our operations in the Netherlands would increase, and our results of operations would be adversely affected.

Previous wording

From time to time, we engage in currency hedging activities. These measures, however, may not adequately protect us from material adverse effects due to the fluctuations in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and the euro and other foreign currencies in which we transact business, and may result in a financial loss.

These measures, however, may not adequately protect us from material adverse effects due to the fluctuations in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and the Euro and other foreign currencies in which we transact business, and may result in a financial loss. Our ability to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations is also limited by our Amended Credit Agreement and the Company may not be able to hedge against such fluctuations in the future.

Although Bloomia verifies the employment eligibility status of its employees, some of its employees may, without Bloomia’s knowledge, be unauthorized workers. Unauthorized workers are subject to deportation and may subject Bloomia to fines or penalties, and if any of Bloomia’s workers are found to be unauthorized, Bloomia could experience adverse publicity that negatively impacts its brand and may make it more difficult to hire and keep qualified employees. Termination of a significant number of employees who were unauthorized employees may disrupt Bloomia’s operations, cause temporary increases in its labor costs as it trains new employees and result in additional adverse publicity. Bloomia could also become subject to fines, penalties and other costs related to claims that it did not fully comply with all recordkeeping obligations of federal and state immigration compliance laws. Failure to fully comply with one or more of these requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording

Tulip bulbs, like any plant, are subject to quality issues and disease, and we could have significant inventory loss or production delays resulting from low quality tulips. In June of 2023 Bloomia wrote off $900,000 of tulip bulb inventory due to the bulbs not meeting Bloomia’s quality standards. The bulbs were sourced during the off-season which we believe contributed to the quality issues and subsequent write-off. Additionally, in fiscal year 2024, a portion of our Southern Hemisphere bulbs suffered from poor temperature treatment which resulted in less stem production. Although we coordinate with recurring customers to plan production based on anticipated demand and projections, we may have to write down inventory or recognize a material impairment if our production significantly exceeds customer demand.

In the year ended December 31, 2024, a portion of our Southern Hemisphere bulbs suffered from poor temperature treatment, which resulted in less stem production. Additionally, in the year ended June 30, 2026, the Company experienced unusual significant crop underperformance at the end of the Dutch bulb season. As a result, the Company estimated a $562,000 provision for inventory. Although we coordinate with recurring customers to plan production based on anticipated demand and projections, we may have to write down inventory or recognize a material impairment if our production significantly exceeds customer demand.

Bloomia’s operations rely on dependable and efficient transportation services, the disruption of which could result in difficulties supplying materials to Bloomia’s facilities and impair Bloomia’s ability to deliver products to its retail customers in a timely manner. Specifically, our ability to receive shipments of tulip bulbs from Bloomia’s Netherlands or Chilean facilities on a timely basis and to provide efficient distribution of our stems to our retail customers are integral components of our overall business strategy. The volumes handled by, and operating challenges at, ocean ports have at times been volatile and can delay the receipt of tulip bulbs or cause the cost of shipping goods to be more expensive. Additionally, the availability and reliability of truck transportation has been negatively impacted by a number of factors, including limited availability of qualified drivers and equipment and limitations on drivers’ hours of service. Impairment in our ability to receive timely shipments of tulip bulbs or distribute stems to our retail customers may affect our ability to both maintain core products in inventory and deliver products to customers on a timely basis, which may in turn adversely affect our consolidated results of operations.

The efficient operation of our business is dependent on our management information systems, both internal and outsourced. We rely on our management information systems to, among other things, effectively manage our accounting and financial functions, including maintaining our internal controls, and to manage our procurement, greenhouse, distribution and sales processes. The failure of our management information systems to perform properly could disrupt our business, which may result in decreased sales, increased overhead costs, excess or obsolete inventory, causing our business and operating results to suffer. We also have automated processes in our greenhouse operations, which could be adversely impacted by interruptions in their operations. Although we take steps to secure our management information systems and automated processes, including our computer systems, intranet and internet sites, email and other telecommunications and data networks, the security measures we have implemented may not be effective and our systems may be vulnerable to theft, loss, damage and interruption from a number of potential sources and events, including unauthorized access or security breaches, natural or man-made disasters, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, power loss, or other disruptive events. Our reputation, brand, and financial condition could be adversely affected if, as a result of a significant cyber event or otherwise, our operations are disrupted or shutdown; our confidential, proprietary information is stolen or disclosed; we incur costs or are required to pay fines in connection with stolen customer, employee, or other confidential information;

We cannot assure you that the necessary funds will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, or that such funds, if raised, would be sufficient. The level and timing of future expenditure will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control.

Previous wording

Current significant holders of shares may have interests that are different than or adverse to our other stockholders. Based on public filings with the SEC, we believe that our largest stockholders and its affiliates hold approximately 40% of our issued and outstanding common shares. Based on this share ownership and the simple majority vote of shares present in person or by proxy that is sufficient for the approval of most actions at any stockholders meeting, those stockholders may be able to exercise a certain degree of control over certain matters requiring stockholders’ approval. Those matters include the election of directors, amendment of our articles of association and approval of significant corporate transactions, subject to rules requiring the approval of a special majority among non-interested stockholders in certain situations. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our Company or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult without the support of those significant stockholders, including transactions in which a non-significant stockholder might otherwise receive a premium for its shares over the then-current market price.

We do not believe that the Company, even after completion of the sale of the In-Store Marketing Business was a “shell company” as described under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is a company that has: no or nominal operations; and either (a) no or nominal assets; (b) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (c) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.

However, a designation as a “shell company” could result in the application of Rule 144(i), which would limit the availability of the exemption from registration provided in Rule 144 for certain shares of Company common stock and could result in certain persons affiliated with the Company being deemed “statutory underwriters under Rule 145(c). Some of the presently outstanding shares of our common stock are “restricted securities” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. Pursuant to Rule 144, if we were designated a “shell company” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, one year would be required to elapse from the time, we ceased to be a “shell company” and filed a Form 8-K addressing Item 5.06 with such information as may be required in a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC, before our restricted stockholders could resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144. The Form 10 information or disclosure is equivalent to the information that a company would be required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10 under the Exchange Act. Under amended Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company, or a company that was at any time previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company, can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met:

We have never been classified as a “shell company” under rules promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. However, in the event we were to be so designated, we may have to retroactively adjust our reporting or accounting for affected periods.
